Cocktail Dresses to Flatter Every Figure

When the invitation calls for "cocktail attire," dresses from New York & Company are the answer. Featuring sophisticated designs in every style – from sheath and shift dresses, to fit-and-flares, maxi dresses to jumpsuits designed for eveningwear, you'll find special occasion and going-out dresses that flatter every figure. Explore our collection of stunning colors and cuts, and find the perfect party dresses for every occasion. Just a few of the looks available include: - Sheath Dresses. Feminine and curve hugging, sheath dresses closely follow the lines of your body, without clinging, to create a classic silhouette. Available in sleeveless styles, and with long sleeves or short, and in a wide range of solid hues and bold patterns, they're the perfect solution for special occasions, date night, office parties, and more. - Maxi Dresses. Nothing makes a statement quite like evening dresses in floor-grazing lengths. Creating a dramatic silhouette, and available in halter and sleeveless designs, as well as with long sleeves and short, they're beautiful with a pair of strappy sandals, wedge heels, pumps, and even boots. And because they come in glamorous metallics, ethereal chiffons, and crepes, in a variety of colors and patterns, it's easy to find a look you'll love. - Fit-and-Flare. Nipping in at the waist and flaring out at the skirt, our fit-and-flare styles are the perfect party and prom dresses for anyone who wants a classic look in fresh colors and bold patterns. Available with sequins, in beautiful jacquard fabrics, and lace, as well as the latest colors, florals, and graphic prints, our selection of midi- and knee-length dresses delivers a feminine look that's always in style. - Jumpsuits. If an invitation indicates "cocktail" attire, dresses aren't the only option. In fact, jumpsuits are rapidly making their way up to partywear – and with luxe velvets, and pretty lace accents, they're a sophisticated way to dress up for a night out. - Sizes for Every Body. With knee-length dresses, prom dresses, and evening dresses that float just above the floor, our collection offers the perfect silhouette for women of every height. And with sizes ranging from 0 to 20, we also offer dresses for women in a wide range of sizes. At New York & Company, you’ll find styles to suit your unique look, as well as fits that flatter. From extra small sizes to plus-size dresses, with a wide range of options and even more silhouettes, you'll find the perfect going-out dresses for any occasion. Of course, along with party dresses, we also offer stylish jackets and accessories, including jewelry, handbags and shoes, that make completing your look simple.
